Scaling expressions for the free energy are derived, using the Luttinger-Ward (LW) functional approach in the Eliashberg framework, for two different models of quantum critical point (QCP). First, we consider the spin-density-wave (SDW) model for which the effective theory is the Hertz-Moriya-Millis (HMM) theory, describing the interaction between itinerant electrons and collective spin fluctuations. The dynamic of the latter are described by a dynamical exponent $z$ depending on the nature of the transition. Second, we consider the Kondo breakdown model for QCP's, one possible scenario for heavy-fermion quantum transitions, for which the effective theory is given by a gauge theory in terms of conduction electrons, spinons for localized spins, holons for hybridization fluctuations, and gauge bosons for collective spin excitations. For both models, we construct the thermodynamic potential, in the whole phase diagram, including all kinds of self-energy corrections in a self-consistent way, at the one loop level. We show how Eliashberg framework emerges at this level and use the resulting Eliashberg equations to simplify the LW expression for free energy . it is found that collective boson excitations play a central role. The scaling expression for the singular part of the free energy near the Kondo breakdown QCP is characterized by two length scales : one is the correlation length for hybridization fluctuations, and the other is that for gauge fluctuations, analogous to the penetration depth in superconductors.
Superconductivity from Coulomb repulsion in three-dimensional quadratic band touching Luttinger semimetals
研究了具有二次带接触和强自旋轨道耦合的三维Luttinger半金属中屏蔽库仑排斥驱动的超导电性。在这些半金属中，库珀对是由自旋为3/2的费米子与非平凡波函数形成的。通过数值求解线性Eliashberg方程，得到了单重态s波带隙函数的临界温度与掺杂的关系，并考虑了自旋轨道修正和自能修正.为了理解超导的基本机制，我们计算了临界温度对介电函数$ε(iΩ_n,q)$变化的敏感性。我们将我们的结果与等离子体激元和Kohn-Luttinger机制。最后，我们讨论了我们的方法的有效性，并将我们的结果与文献进行比较。我们发现很好的协议与一些铋基半Heuslers，如YPtBi，并推测在铱酸盐Pr 2 Ir 2 O 7的超导性。
Approximate energy functionals for one-body reduced density matrix functional theory from many-body perturbation theory
We develop a systematic approach to construct energy functionals of the one-particle reduced density matrix (1RDM) for equilibrium systems at finite temperature. The starting point of our formulation is the grand potential $Ω[\mathbf{G}]$ regarded as variational functional of the Green's function $G$ based on diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory and for which we consider either the Klein or Luttinger-Ward form. By restricting the input Green's function to be one-to-one related to a set on one-particle reduced density matrices (1RDM) this functional becomes a functional of the 1RDM. To es…
The self-consistent Dyson equation and self-energy functionals: failure or new opportunities?
Perturbation theory using self-consistent Green's functions is one of the most widely used approaches to study many-body effects in condensed matter. On the basis of general considerations and by performing analytical calculations for the specific example of the Hubbard atom, we discuss some key features of this approach. We show that when the domain of the functionals that are used to realize the map between the non-interacting and the interacting Green's functions is properly defined, there exists a class of self-energy functionals for which the self-consistent Dyson equation has only one so…
